WHO approves spatial repellents for malaria control: What it is and how it works

The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed spatial repellents as a new tool in the fight against malaria, recommending their use alongside insecticide-treated nets. These devices release mosquito-repelling chemicals, offering continuous indoor protection and proving adaptable to insecticide resistance. Trials have demonstrated a significant reduction in malaria cases, marking a major advancement in malaria prevention efforts.
